There's also a discussion, on the E10 topic on the "Do it Yourself, Boating on a Budget" forum http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/d...uys-using.html that I have been jumping back and forth to, which you might want to also read. It contains some other thoughts that weren't in this forum.

Many of Merc's and Volvo's marine engines are based on standard GM long-blocks.

Im pretty sure on your standard engines everything is the same minus the cooling system, painting them black to be corrosion resistant and the externals being supposed marine ie starter, alternator, etc.
